City of Heroes Coming to Life

Transformers producer Tom DeSanto plans on bringing NCsoft and Cryptic Studio's massively multiplayer online role-playing game City of Heroes to life on both the big and small screens.

According to Variety, "DeSanto sparked to the project because it offered 'one-stop shopping' for characters and plots. 'You also haven't seen a big superheroes vs. aliens movie,' he said. 'I see this as the next big superhero franchise.'"

DeSanto aims to turn City of Heroes into a live-action movie, as well as a TV program.

City of Heroes follows the superheroes of Paragon City who unite to thwart an alien invasion. Checkout IGN's full coverage of the City of Heroes MMORPG here.
